Pew Internet
Almost a third of U.S. adults now own a tablet or an e-reader, after a huge spike from the holiday gift season. A new survey from the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project found that the percentage of ownership for tablets and e-readers increased identically — to 19 percent in January from only 10 percent in December. The number owning one or both grew to 29 percent from 18 percent in December.
